He invites fans to get in touch but adds: “Don’t ask to see my gas masks though... my parents think I’m a freak, my brother thinks I’m a weirdo but I love them so b******* to them.”

His model page says: “I mostly specialise in gothic, horror and alt fashion but I’m looking to expand this and add fetish and erotic work to my portfolio as well as more art nude and some fantasy stuff too.”

Different: Harry shows the looks that made him a popular alternative model

His distinctive look might scare The Living Daylights out of some – but one photographer who has snapped him left this testimonial: “Harry has been a regular to my studio for a long time now. Always got some good stories to tell. Great alt model with plenty of useful props and very dedicated to his art.”

On his Facebook page Harry said he had started working at a bar at Chester racecourse to help make ends meet.

When asked about his modelling work he said he gave it up “the other week”.
